#2. Hope isn't true: Vince McMahon wanted Sting buried

Vince McMahon

Sting's sting in WWE was brief, wrestling a total of three matches in 2015 before being forced to retire. According to Arn Anderson on the ARN podcast, Vince McMahon reportedly told commentators to bury Sting at WrestleMania 31:

All it did was give the announcers – and I know this was fed to them – they just buried Sting. ‘Minnow in a big pond.’ Just total condescending. ‘Guy’s out of his element.’ ‘This is WrestleMania now.’ ‘You’re just a small minnow in a huge lake.’

He said that it was once again about WWE vs WCW and Vince McMahon putting one last nail in the coffin:

“They [WCW] led for all those weeks but, in the end, here’s your last remaining guy and he was your biggest star, and we [WWE] just crushed him before your very eyes at the biggest event of the year.”

We hope this isn't true because it seems petty, especially since over 14 years had passed since the buyout happened.
